Better Music Player Alternative to Windows Media Player

Have a look here
http://www.pocketmind.com/pmfp.htm
The PocketMusic Player is a must for anyone who is serious about music quality. There is a customisable 10 band graphic equaliser for a start with presets or adjust the equaliser settings yourself. There a bass boost facility. Supports multi music formats. You can use winamp skins as well.
When used through my XDA 11s and Sony EX71 phones the results are fantastic. Much better than WMP. Good value for $20.

music player for manila 2.5
im a total noob on this winmo 6.5 phone...i have a touch pro 2 for att...but i dont like the music player because it wont display my albums artwork...it shows one art work for all my music...can anyone tell me whats wrong??? thanks...sorry if i posted in the wrong area...but im new here. sorry.

that usually is because of the mp3s. this is a sample situation to cause that bug (that is present on all devices and all players btw., even on the pc):
- play a song with a cover inside the mp3
- play a song with a folder-wide cover that is not in its original folder
- play a song w/o a cover
from that point on, all the songs will display the same cover, because the song without cover could not override the old cover, which behaves odd anyways, because it is not in its original folder.
this was just an example, but to avoid bugs like that, you should integrate the covers in the songs and get rid of all the folder.jpg /png cover.jpg /png and similar files
but asides from that, you can of course, try other media players, like tcpmp, link in my signature (tuts and downloads), or s2p (ac-s2.com)

alternative for wm
i think u can go for Nitrogen which good for playing mp3 and other audio formats just search for Nitrogen for wm6 in google.

S2U2 works very well also.

Core player!

i used MP3Tag to integrate my album's artwork to my mp3 files..and use Conduits Pocket Player..works well for me

PIE option for best media player

is thier or can some one make a simple app that lets PIE choose best media player.
i did the registry hack for default player and i choose the tcpmp as default but it doesn't work for all the sites.
it would be nice if i could put a little app in the registry the will launch an option that lets me choose which player to play that format.
in the registry, i left it blank and it work fine on some site. it just plays the file format that the player is default to.
for exsample:
if i have tcpmp as default to play asx,asf and divx. i will launch and play it and if i have wmplayer as default for just mp3, than it will launch wmplayer and not tcpmp.
i hope some one understands and has a solution, thank you

Good media players?

Is there any good media players out there that can replace wmp or touchflo media player? Mostly looking for a player to play my music files.

Good Music Player..
Hello my friend,
You can try Nitrogen Player, it's only for music but it does the job well, here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455750

Search and u will find many
The one that i use is core player
Pocke music is also good

thanks for your share.

pocket tunes is quite good if you want sync with iTunes

I think Kinoma Play is by far the best media player for Windows Mobile: http://kinoma.com/play/
It's fast, fluid, powerful and easy to use.

Anyone have problems with the new version of Kinoma? Whenever I try to download/update apps ("Get Apps"), it always hangs (Duttys 3.1 and 3.6), regardless of GPRS, EDGE or HSDPA. Works fine over WiFi tho!?

On stock ROM 1.56 and after hardreset, I had some serious problems with Pocket Music - when it reached the end of a track and should have skipped to the next one, it would freeze instead and screw up the sound for the whole device. So I looked for alternative, tried Kinoma but the trial wouldn't let me play with the bass/treble settings, which I need. So I ended up with MortPlayer, which seems very nice to me so far, it has an equalizer and a bass boost effect, and it's free.

I've got no problems with Kinoma on Dutty's 3.6 using 3G/EDGE.

Best music player for TP2

So which one do u choose ?
CorePlayer
Nitrogen player
Windows media player
TF3D music player
or others?
Plz post your reasons too

so? 90 views and no answers

i'm using pocket player . it works great
and i'm using it with jabra stereo blutooth headset.

TF3D music player
I've been using the TF3D music player on my tp2 for about a month now and it seems to be doing all that i need from it.
Simple to use and good quality output as well. Can't say much about other music players as I haven't used any recently.

in order to get as much music on my phone as possible i am using aac compressed audio (with SBR). This format provides 128kbit/s-mp3-quality at 48kbit/s (at least to my ears).
The only players that i know supporting this format are WMP and TCPMP. As TCPMP does software decoding the device gets slow during playback. WMP seems to have something like hardware acceleration for aac. therefore i am using WMP (with another skin as the default one is not very finger friendly).

thanks yeah i like the TF3D default myself too Nitrogen is good but i think the volume is a little low compared to TF3D player,i use coreplayer for movies and TF3D for musics,just wanted to know other opinions

while the htc audio manager is nice, NITROGEN is now my player of choice despite minor bugs.

WMP works well for me. Don't like the skin but I have downloaded an HTC-like theme so it is all good.

pocket player too
wide variety of audio format support (4.x supports aac), AVRCP support, plugin to add pitch adjustment

Power Problems

How did you get the player to play in power saving mode. with the screen off. Whenever I do this it stops the music, and some times, even unloads my memory card.
This has been my biggest bain and major issue with my tmobile tp2. I have tried Mortplayer and Nitrogen, the best IMHO and have had the same issue. I have tried different searches to enable the device to let the music play while the screen is off and none have worked. I am going to try S2P. My only gripe witht that program is that it does not play all file formats.
Oh well...

Coreplayer.
Has EQ, bass boost and pre-amp options and also is the best video player.

yeah,Pocket Music Player is the thing,it can auto power off and power on,holy ****,which else can be as nice as this one?

+1 for Pocket Player.
My reasons: AVRCP support (a must have feature for me), wide format support (many free players don't support wma, which is a deal breaker for me), equalizer, gapless playback(!), quite finger friendly (some buttons are rather small on the default skin, but it has kinetic scrolling etc.)...
Video support is a bit lacking, but then again I only use it for audio.

I use Pocket Player as well, mostly because it works well for both music and audio books. I am frustrated with whatever method it uses for shuffle, though. I've had 6 different songs play 2-4 times in 4 hours. I have nearly 1000 songs and 66 hours of music! Seems like I should not be getting that kind of repetition.

Pocket Player problems with playing large MP3 files...
One thing guys - and anyone who uses Pocket Player on the TP2 may have seen this... I listen to a lot of voice audio. I prefer to combine the files for audio and can sometimes have long audio files of 300 megs all the way to 1.2 gigs (I use a 16 gig storage card).
The problem i have seen is that sometimes the control that shows where you are in the audio file goes haywire and slides from the correct position all the way to the right - making the bookmarking feature fail and impossible to navigate. Additionally it appears Pocket Player somehow miscalculates the size and length of the audio - but it originally has the size and length correct - this only happens after a certain point (for me it seems after about 240 minutes or so - about 4 hours in).
WHat is so strange is this does NOT happen for all audio files on this device. Some of the large files seem to play fine without problem. Additionally when I compare this to another TP2 that has an installation of the competitor program Pocket Music, this does NOT happen. Also this never happenedon our original HTC Mogul from Sprint.
The problem is we need the AVRCP controls and we all know that Conduits is the only company that has addressed this. It's also pathetic that HTC themselves has continued down this path and refuses to even comment on this issue.
2 questions to this wonderful community of genius people who take it upon themselves to fix what should have been included in the first place:
1. Has anyone seen a hack / mod that will fix the AVRCP controls so that programs like Pocket Music and other players can be used via Bluetooth remote controls?
2. Has anyone seen this specific issue with Pocket Player (which has that beautiful speed plugin that does not alter pitch - love that) and if so - is there a fix or workaround for large files 'breaking' in the middle of playing so that you can no longer save your position or know the correct position of the player in the middle of the MP3 being played?
Thanks in advance to all of you who have any suggestions on either issue.

I'm using Kinoma Play, though mainly for its integration with Orb and video abilities.
For music it supports album art, but only has bass and treble adjustments, not an equalizer.
There is a Kinoma Free you can try.

I am searching for the perfect player and have been testing several of them to see how they work. In addition to some of the normal music player requirements I have 2 pet peeves in particular:
1) The player must support the "Album Artist" tag so that compilations are listed properly in the library.
2) Proper alphabetization - "The Beatles" should be listed under the B's not incorrectly under the T's.
I am testing Pocket Player right now. So far it is the only music player that supports and uses the "Album Artist" tag and it does so by default. It does not support proper alpha. AVRCP works fine out of the box.
The HTC player has the advantage in that it is the only player that can be integrated on the TF3D tabs but does not utilize the "Album Artist" tag nor uses proper alpha. It also has a serious bug that prevents it listing and playing a albums tracks in the correct order. AVRCP of course works well.
WMP supports proper alpha but not the "Album Artist" tag. Strange since MS pioneered the use of the "Album Artist" tag in the desktop version of WMP. AVRCP works fine.
CorePlayer is an evil company. I will never buy or use any SW they make.
Kinoma is next up on my list.
I wish I could find a music player that addresses both of my pet peeves and could be integrated into the TF3D tab replacing the HTC one. That would be the perfect player for me.

I understand what you're saying but I would argue that any player that puts that artist name under B is the one doing it incorrectly. If you want The Beatles under the B's then you should rename those tracks to the album artist "Beatles."

For the people that got the TF3D music to work, please share your magic on having it identify your library from a storage card.

I know this question is like 2 months old but I use Nitrogen and its good enough for me...very finger friendly! And on the main screen there's a button that looks like a Power Button under the volume keys...thats how you put it into "sleep mode" and music will continue playing.

pocketplayer (not play ipod.mp4?) audio but no video

Rather than bump a thread in a legacy device I figured Id ask here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=1034574
I cant get pocketplayer to play ipod .mp4's, the conduit forum does not appear to work

As a long years (and still) pocketplayer user I can tell you that PP will only rely on the registered codecs that are suported with WMPlayer as well. I guess that WMPlyer will also not play these.
Contrary to that Coreplayer will play almost everything and the codec support of the predecessor TCPMP is also ok for video.

Thanks tobbie, Im trying to find an alternative to coreplayer because I can not get avrcp to work on coreplayer

I use Pocketplayer for Music and (rarely) Coreplayer for Videos. AVRCP should work for both via activating the relevant WMP plugins in the players. Depending on the device it is usually the "Key Mapping" plugin.
